[0:00]" Oh it's sort of the third rail of politics abortion should it be funded with taxpayer dollars and it is. Now become an element in the Massachusetts. Primary. For the United States senate. As Michael happy 10 who earlier in the week criticized front runner Martha Coakley for which he said about the bill passed over the weekend. By the US house. Has apparently changed his position joining us to talk about this this morning. And other political matters -- WBZ virtual political roundtable of Charlie many Republican and Marion marsh Democrat. And what kept it 10 says it was that although he voted for the bill he did not like the so called the septic. What's called. On the paper for me that's stupid stupid stupid act stupid act okay. And so -- and the real. What Campbell said was although he voted for the bill he did not like the Stupak amendment. Which forbids public funding for abortions. He says the only voted for it because he had to vote for -- with. On further in the legislative process. Particle piece -- would have voted fort in the first place and he criticized her for that the Easter we view merry and a politics as usual Horry is the congressman making a point."
[1:22]" I think in this planet would make it look that might cap on a flip flopped and Martha Coakley took a strong stand and that's the politics of how that came out."
[1:30]" a democratic special election in December we don't have a very low turnout it bolsters cope with support with women and motivate her supporters."
[1:38]" With capitol one -- it reinforces that insider credentials. Which -- how to all over the place the problem on the planet there's no way he can prove. Now that he would indeed. Do that and vote. Against. That this Stupak amendment if it comes back because it's never gonna happen before the special election it is that it won't even deal and hasn't come just before Christmas."
[1:58]" Which -- Want to but does them a call pleases statements. That she objects sort of irrelevant anyways since that she wasn't in a position to -- either in the first time around her. That's certainly if it comes round again."
[2:11]" You can say that about everybody but capital on -- and then once again it puts a focus on the fact that apple on how. Voted one way. Made these statements try to use that against Coakley and seemingly invented a full 180 on -- matter and that's the problem and that's the politics of how voters are gonna do -- right or wrong."
[2:29]" You agree -- I don't think it was a good exchange from -- when I can chose Al. Important abortion politics is in Democrat primary. The apple want -- would have to change his position audit just one day after criticizing Coakley."
[2:46]" In other words he was against it before it was -- or afford before he was against it we've. For that sort of that position before let's talk about however what public funding for -- procedures in Massachusetts already under this State's. Health care reform package which was passed and signed by a Republican governor. Charlie there is funding available through Medicaid. Because Massachusetts has an unusual relationship with the federal government being sort of the leader Monday in health care reform so has has already been addressed."
[3:16]" It's a -- for Massachusetts but not nationally and that's why it took very interesting vote for a Democrat. -- people like -- would have voted for the final bill. Even though with the nodding or apple want -- voted for the final bill even though it did not include government funded abortion taxpayer funded abortion. And that market came out that. I would walk away from insuring thirty -- million people -- because the abortion politics. Shows that it's a very important issue of Martha Coakley. "
[3:50]" But below the massive -- if if I can if if if women in Massachusetts are able to access. Abortion services which many people find repugnant. -- if they're able to get that through health care reform because Massachusetts is reimbursed through the Medicaid program. How was it fear than for a woman who lives next door in New Hampshire Geathers federal health care reform. Not to have access to the same services under whatever formula eventually emerges under the new national --"
[4:19]" not and that's the point I think a lot of women in particular. I don't want to be treated like second class citizens anymore he didn't see any restrictions on men in the health care reform bill in this matter in terms of reimport embarrassment. And allowed that the politically with more of the Baltimore politician and San Francisco liberal getting this through you can already see the regrets but many members of congress."
[4:41]" Purity have almost fifty people signing onto a -- Diane that -- amendment."
[4:47]" To change step and that's what temple on who would do now and so I think what you see across the board is women saying whether it's abortion or not. They're sick of being treated like second class women and want to do it right the first time like you really have to be acceptance and the other point here is. I think a lot of people have taken offense. To the very act of political world that the bishops appointed as the Catholic bishops to the point where there are members of congress now given how hard they lobbied presidents. Questioning their -- their tax free. Tax exempt status feel a lot going on here and I think that's certainly had to have played into. The decision -- apple wanted to change his position."
[5:25]" which is something else here is is certainly abortion is not go is a political issue but maybe we can find out what the Charlie Baker Republican. Campaign had in mind Republican for governor had in mind when he had an -- apparently call Tim -- hill. The current state the treasurer who is honorable for the Democratic Party and is going to run as an independent offering apparently. A running mate position lieutenant governor to it to Tim -- held the bigger campaign Charlie says well in the formal offer Cahill says. They're just trying to get me out of the race what to look like --"
[5:58]" Well I think everybody in the -- it is very concerned about four more years that Deval Patrick. In the fact it could be re -- split in somehow Patrick could be governor for four more years. It would appear to a lot of people and that union and the talk of should -- bill -- baker -- that would almost shortly and the Patrick administration next year. And -- the court but last in the Patrick folks would want to -- early Saturday I don't I don't think you go to the he even -- and -- that was what the Democrat party and become an independent. I don't think he'll be -- come all the way over and join the Republican Party but. It's certainly not a bad -- hear anything to get that Patrick administration now."
